²² Καὶ εὐθέως ἠνάγκασεν τοὺς μαθητὰς ἐμβῆναι εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ προάγειν αὐτὸν* εἰς τὸ πέραν, ἕως οὗ ἀπολύσῃ τοὺς ὄχλους. ²³ καὶ ἀπολύσας τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος κατ᾿ ἰδίαν προσεύξασθαι. ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης μόνος* ἦν ἐκεῖ. ²⁴ τὸ δὲ πλοῖον ἤδη σταδίους πολλοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς ἀπεῖχεν, βασανιζόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων, ἦν γὰρ ἐναντίος ὁ ἄνεμος. ²⁵ τετάρτῃ δὲ φυλακῇ τῆς νυκτὸς ἦλθεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς περιπατῶν ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν. ²⁶ οἱ δὲ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης περιπατοῦντα ἐταράχθησαν,* λέγοντες ὅτι Φάντασμά ἐστιν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου ἔκραξαν. ²⁷ εὐθὺς δὲ ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς αὐτοῖς, λέγων· Θαρσεῖτε· ἐγώ εἰμι· μὴ φοβεῖσθε. ²⁸ ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος εἶπεν· Κύριε, εἰ σὺ εἶ, κέλευσόν με ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα· ²⁹ ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· Ἐλθέ. καὶ καταβὰς ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοίου ὁ Πέτρος περιεπάτησεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα καὶ ἦλθεν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν. ³⁰ βλέπων δὲ τὸν ἄνεμον ἰσχυρὸν ἐφοβήθη, καὶ ἀρξάμενος καταποντίζεσθαι ἔκραξεν, λέγων· Κύριε, σῶσόν με. ³¹ εὐθέως δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἐπελάβετο αὐτοῦ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ὀλιγόπιστε, εἰς τί ἐδίστασας; ³² καὶ ἀναβάντων αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος. ³³ οἱ δὲ ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ, λέγοντες· Ἀληθῶς θεοῦ υἱὸς εἶ.	⁴⁵ Καὶ εὐθὺς ἠνάγκασεν τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ* ἐμβῆναι εἰς τὸ πλοῖον καὶ προάγειν εἰς τὸ πέραν, πρὸς Βηθσαϊδάν, ἕως αὐτὸς ἀπολύει τὸν ὄχλον. ⁴⁶ καὶ ἀποταξάμενος αὐτοῖς ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος προσεύξασθαι. ⁴⁷ καὶ ὀψίας γενομένης ἦν τὸ πλοῖον ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης, καὶ αὐτὸς μόνος* ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. ⁴⁸ καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτοὺς βασανιζομένους ἐν τῷ ἐλαύνειν, ἦν γὰρ ὁ ἄνεμος ἐναντίος αὐτοῖς, περὶ τετάρτην φυλακὴν τῆς νυκτὸς ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτοὺς περιπατῶν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης· καὶ ἤθελεν παρελθεῖν αὐτούς. ⁴⁹ οἱ δὲ ἰδόντες αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης περιπατοῦντα ἔδοξαν ὅτι φάντασμά ἐστιν, καὶ ἀνέκραξαν· ⁵⁰ πάντες γὰρ αὐτὸν εἶδον καὶ ἐταράχθησαν.* ὁ δὲ εὐθὺς ἐλάλησεν μετ᾿ αὐτῶν, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Θαρσεῖτε· ἐγώ εἰμι· μὴ φοβεῖσθε. ⁵¹ καὶ ἀνέβη πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, καὶ ἐκόπασεν ὁ ἄνεμος. καὶ λίαν ἐκ περισσοῦ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἐξίσταντο, ⁵² οὐ γὰρ συνῆκαν ἐπὶ τοῖς ἄρτοις, ἀλλ᾿ ἦν αὐτῶν ἡ καρδία πεπωρωμένη.

²² And straightway he compelled the disciples to embark onto the boat and to proceed ahead of him* to the other shore, until he should release the crowds. ²³ And he released the crowds and ascended onto the mountain by himself to pray. But, when it became evening, he* was there alone.* ²⁴ But the boat already held at many stades away from the land, tormented by the waves, for the wind was contrary. ²⁵ And at the fourth watch of the night he came toward them, walking upon the sea. ²⁶ And the disciples saw him walking upon the sea and were terrified,* saying that it was a phantom, and they shouted out from fear. ²⁷ And Jesus straightway spoke to them, saying: Take courage; it is I; do not fear. ²⁸ And Peter answered him and said: Lord, if it is you, command me to come toward you upon the waters. ²⁹ And he said: Come. And Peter descended from the boat and walked upon the waters and came toward Jesus. ³⁰ But, seeing the strong wind, he became afraid, and as he began to sink down he shouted, saying: Lord, save me. ³¹ And Jesus straightway extended his hand and took hold of him and says to him: You of little faith, why did you doubt? ³² And, when they ascended into the boat, the wind stopped. ³³ But those in the boat worshipped him, saying, Truly you are the son of God.	⁴⁵ And straightway he compelled his* disciples to embark onto the boat and to proceed ahead to the other shore, toward Bethsaida, until he himself released the crowd. ⁴⁶ And he parted from them and went away onto the mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And, when it became evening, there was the boat in the middle of the sea, and he* himself alone* upon the land. ⁴⁸ And seeing them tormented in their rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, around the fourth watch of the night he comes toward them, walking upon the sea; and he wished to go by them. ⁴⁹ And they saw him walking upon the sea and supposed that it was a phantom, and they shouted out loud. ⁵⁰ For they all saw him and were terrified.* And he straightway spoke with them and says to them: Take courage; it is I; do not fear. ⁵¹ And he ascended toward them into the boat, and the wind stopped. And they were very excessively astonished within themselves, ⁵² for they did not understand about the breadloaves, but rather their heart was hardened.

²² And straightway he compelled
the disciples to embark onto

of him* to the other shore,

until he should release
the crowds.
²³ And he released the crowds
and ascended onto the
mountain by himself to pray.
But, when it became evening,
he* was there alone.*
²⁴ But the boat already
held at many stades

away from the land,

tormented by the waves,
for the wind was contrary.
²⁵ And at
the fourth watch of the night
he came toward them,
walking upon the sea.

²⁶ And the disciples saw
him walking upon the sea
and were terrified,*
saying that it was a phantom,
and they shouted out from fear.

²⁷ And Jesus straightway
spoke to them,
saying:
Take courage; it is I;
do not fear.
²⁸ And Peter answered him
and said: Lord, if it
is you, command me to come
toward you upon the waters.
²⁹ And he said: Come.
And Peter descended from
the boat and walked upon
the waters and came
toward Jesus.
³⁰ But, seeing the strong wind,
he became afraid, and as he began
to sink down he shouted, saying:
Lord, save me.
³¹ And Jesus straightway
extended his hand and took hold
of him and says to him:
You of little faith,
why did you doubt?
³² And, when they ascended
into the boat,
the wind stopped.
³³ But those in the boat
worshipped him, saying,
Truly you are the son of God.

⁴⁵ And straightway he compelled
his* disciples to embark onto
the boat and to proceed ahead
to the other shore,

until he himself released
the crowd.
⁴⁶ And he parted from them
and went away onto the
mountain to pray.
⁴⁷ And, when it became evening,
there was
the boat
in the middle of the sea,
and he* himself alone*
upon the land.
⁴⁸ And seeing them
tormented in their rowing,
for the wind was contrary
to them, around
the fourth watch of the night
he comes toward them,
walking upon the sea;
and he wished to go by them.
⁴⁹ And they saw
him walking upon the sea
and supposed
that it was a phantom,
and they shouted out loud.
⁵⁰ For they all saw him

And he straightway
spoke with them

¹⁶ But when it became evening his disciples descended upon the sea, ¹⁷ and, embarking onto a boat, they were going to the shore of the sea, unto Capernaum. And darkness had already come and Jesus had not yet come toward them, ¹⁸ and the sea was stirred up by a great wind that was blowing. ¹⁹ When they had gone, therefore, about twenty-five or thirty stades they spotted Jesus walking upon the sea and becoming near to the boat, and they were afraid. ²⁰ And he says to them: It is I; do not fear. ²¹ They were willing, therefore, to take him into the boat, and straightway the boat came upon the land to which they had been proceeding.
